This is a device designed to illuminate a toenail or fingernail fungal infection for extended periods of time for the purpose of eradicating that infection. The device is battery powered and can be comfortably worn while sleeping (as would be probable in the case of toenail infections), or can be worn continuously (as would be probable in the case of fingernail infections). The prolonged exposure to light will lead to the death of the fungus. This is non-invasive, and totally safe for the wearer. The other effective method of treatment available consists of the ingestion of potentially toxic medication for extended periods of time.

A tractor includes a motor, transmission, drive shaft and rear differential for driving the rear axles mounted on a main tubular frame of a variable configuration. Forwardly extendable telescoping tubular frame members are actuated by respective rams to selectively increase the wheel base between the front and rear wheels. The front and rear telescoping tubes supporting each of the wheels are selectively extendable to significantly increase the wheel width of the tractor; the axles for the rear wheels are commensurately extendable. A toolbar dependingly supported from the main frame in front of the cab permits the operator to view the operation of attached implements while driving. The toolbar may include a row guide causing the toolbar to move laterally as necessary to follow a row and the toolbar is connected to the steering mechanism to control the direction of travel of the tractor. The front wheels are pivotally mounted on the corresponding telescoping tubes to provide sufficient clearance to permit near 180° pivotal movement. The steering mechanism is capable of pivoting each front wheel through an angle of about 180° and establishes an appropriate geometric relationship between the front wheels to permit the tractor to turn about any center of rotation intersected by the common axis of rotation of the rear axle, including pivoting about either rear wheel, while maintaining the axis of rotation of each front wheel in intercepting relationship with the center of rotation. Moreover, the turn radius at the end of a row is minimal and can be further reduced by temporarily reducing the length of the frame. Various implements, including a toolbar, can be readily attached directly to the tubular frame at any location intermediate the front and rear axles, as necessary.

A system for conveying a string of packaging cushions includes a machine capable of manufacturing the string and a conveyor adapted to transport the string. The conveyor has an inlet end to receive the string and an outlet end to deliver the string of packaging cushions. The inlet end of the conveyor is higher than the cushion outlet elevation of the machine. At least one pair of rolls are adapted to lift the string of packaging cushions from the machine through the nip of the rolls to the conveyor inlet elevation.

Methods for producing fragments of a food product are disclosed. The method includes providing an amount of a formable food product, dividing a single input flow of the formable food product into multiple output streams, extruding the formable food product through an orifice to form strands and cutting the strands of formable food product into pieces. The method may be used be used to produce fragments of cheese that have an appearance similar to cheese that has been shredded. A method is also disclosed for applying the fragments of food product to a base food product, such as a sandwich or pizza.

A method and system for automatically configuring the frequency allocation within a cellular system or network. The method requires the collection of measurements from different parts of a cellular network, generating statistics from these measurements, and combining these statistics with inventory, propagation and geographic data. The combined data is used as input to a frequency allocation algorithm. As a result, the allocation algorithm produces a frequency configuration set, a quality measure of the configuration proposed and/or a set of recommendations that is fed back to the cellular base stations to re-allocate the frequency usage in a plurality of cells.
摘要:
In a twin head dry shaver, the shaver heads are carried at the upper end of a four-bar mounting linkage comprising vertical side members 1A, 1B and bell crank links 2, 3 pivotally connected to the side members at points 7, 8 and 9, 11. The links are pivotally connected to the frame by pivot pins 4 and 6 set above and mid-way between the connections to the side members, thus rendering the heads highly sensitive to cut of balance forces acting on the heads so that they may move vertically, relative to each other to restore the balance.

The embarrassment of passing gas in public is ubiquitous. One solution is to wear a filter underwear that is generally constructed with a single ply of underwear side panels that are separated by an activated carbon center panel. The activated carbon center panel is attached to an elastic waistband at the underwear back and where the activated carbon center panel traverses between two leg openings to the waistband at the underwear front. The center panel is constructed with a five-ply activated carbon fabric that is sandwiched between cotton fabric, which is sandwiched between bamboo fabric. The five-ply center panel is greater than 1 mm thick to provide filtering capabilities to sufficiently reduce the odor of flatulence to an acceptable level that is not readily detected by a person close by.
